Who Says That They Are Not Forms Of Art?

Articles Matter Too
huffpost

Stop telling me that writing isn't art.There are double standards for writing, painting, drawing and music. Recently, I posted one of my articles on this artist Facebook page and I guess an administrator of the page commented and said, "This is not an art." Then, they removed my article from the facebook page. I was mad at first, then started to question my abilities as an award-winning writer, which depressed me. That was a difficult 15 minutes. I decided to channel these feelings into Odyssey.

The only reason they removed it is because I talked about sex which bothered me because artists post paintings of vaginas and penises on the website and get likes, shares, appreciation and admiration.I was very offended because on the website description it clearly says that we accept all posts of drawings, paintings, and writing.And just to clear the record short stories, long stories and novellas are not the only forms of art when it comes to writing.

Articles count as art too.

One day a guy posted multiple paintings of different colored vaginas. It received a plethora of likes, shares, and admiration but my article gets taken down. I fail to notice how paintings and drawings of anatomy are more artistic than someone writing about that topic. We can both agree that writing is art but only when it's what somebody wants to read I guess. A lot if people want to read short stories, long stories, poems but articles matter too. Poets and Journalists sometimes get left out or forgotten but our pieces matter. We exist.

Art is suggestive and it can exist in many forms. One thing it is not is vulgar, offensive, and distasteful. As long as art expresses your emotions, feelings, views, imagination and opinions there are no rules. There are no limitations on creativity.

I certainly am tired of these double standards. On FineartAmerica.com there's genitalia art for sale. For sale! There is a sculpture of a placid penis in a jar for $44 dollars but I can't share an article about a real story. It just happened to involve sex. Sex is real. If you want to check it out, its called I Keep Walking In On My Roommate Having Sex. Even without that page's permission to post my article, it received the most views I've ever had. I'm not a page view junkie but it does feel kind of good.

Here is some food for thought. We all are able to express our feelings and opinions as paintings, drawings, songs and any form of writing. This is what I'm doing but it's in the form of an article. Isn't that what art is about?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
